Are you using cached mode in Outlook? I turned that off back in 2007 and have kept it off ever since. Because our users access 12 calendars of other users daily, and the non owned calendars are only updated when you open the calendar, this resulted in lag when a user would open those calendars, sometimes making someone think there was nothing slotted, and it would populate and now be double booked.

Don't think that there is much more to add here. Fill the owner in on the deets, let him decide now to proceed.

About time that this was done. Too many people confused by that.

I'm seeing twenty somethings living at home far more today than when I was that age. I don't think that it was all that normal fifteen years ago. Not sure if it is normal now, but I'd say more normal, at least.

@NetworkNerd said in Outlook Slow to Open, Interesting tracert to Hosted E-mail Provider:

Check out the latency on that 4th hop. At that point traffic goes across Level 3's network (supposedly still a server in Dallas). We brought this up with our provider (LightSpar), and they are telling us that despite the latency showing to be high on the tracert, it is not delaying the exchange of information between us and our hosted Exchange server.

It can't be, you prove that it is not having any affect from your ping and traceroute. Your latency is under 50ms, so its own response time is irrelevant.

We are just starting to plan our hardware refresh. I'm seriously considering Scale. I like the info that I've seen so far.

We love ours, it has been great.

I'm still pulling down information..... I need a vibrant DR plan in place or decided on before I commit to a platform. It always seems to be overlooked as an afterthought.

Common approach is to get something like a Synology or a ReadyNAS and use the Scale HC3 built in snapshot and export backup functionality to push full image backups on a schedule out to the NAS.

Day 4 and and Autodiscover is still broken. Microsoft should be calling me any minute.

Did they?

Ha.. yes they did and there were additional configuration changes made so that users are authentication against out on premise server, but the cached records that O365 collects.

And there is a new issue that I've been dealing with for a few days (4) were we apparently can't sync users / password / dl changes etc.

Even though the sync says everything is functional.

@Dashrender @JaredBusch you two are adorable

Dude it is 2017. Don't point at them.

Here is the guide I wrote on it.

Granted it list voicemail, but all of the content of the backup was browse-able.

I only got to read the first paragraph of the article because wired complained about my adblock. Sorry Wired, but I trust your adds like I trust a hobo to keep an eye on my good whisky.

Yup, same here.

I mostly browse news on my iphone or ipad. and the "reader" view typically gets around that.

Sounds like the same problem that Google has with messaging.

Good point.

@JaredBusch I went back over it and the fine print and that pricing is for customers that are not current customers or are adding services. This is month to month pricing.

@Kris_K From the fwy offramp to the LA2 site, is less than a mile drive.

@op's question:
So now what do you do? If I drop completely to Linux - something like this would become a rather annoying event. As someone that has five iPads (in use), four iPods and two iPhones, that could get damn right perturbing.

Stop using Apple products would be my answer. Though you seem to be in too deep already.

That doesn't make sense though - Scott is a HUGE apple fan, and he's on Linux now too.

I tend to agree with Scott's comment earlier, if this is a problem, borrow a friends computer.

So - take @scottalanmiller and the fact that he is now over seas - how practical is borrowing a friends computer?

I can borrow my daughter's.

If an encrypted laptop was stolen loaded with patient data, you could still be in the same HIPAA predicament depending on the judge and expert witness.

I am under the impression that OCR considers FDE as a non offense.

I mean, the breach happened, but there would be no penalty as the data is potentially inaccessible.

most internal storage for my money (but cheap comes first)

This is usually my last concern. Because almost all Android tablets take MicroSD cards. Tablets are so cheap and become "outdated" so quickly. Especially tablets for under $100.

Fair enough - I'm using it as essentially a cheap laptop substitute to transfer data from uSD cards to bulk storage via USB OTG

If this is a project for you... and the uSD card is in an Anrdoid device, check out Xplore File Manager. You can share a folder from your PC and copy it over WiFi using that app. May be slower, but will be less of a hassle than having to shuffle SD cards around.

Edit: Name Correction, link to app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Good idea actually! Unfortunately the uSD are in a cheap video camera

Ah... Camera SD -> Tablet -> USB OTG?

Well I found something else which might work too...

Which while not preventing theft, could be used...

The solution to removing them and re-establishing the vSwitch and VM Adapters was to remove the Hyper-V Role and then reinstall the role.
Specifically the following steps:

Where you using a Full server install that you added the role to? or are you actually able to remove the Hyper-V role from Hyper-V server 2012 (or whatever version you were on?)

He has Server 2012 R2 Datacenter installed on all their physical boxes.
